[Video]

September 1, 2012

I love the way you can never EVER predict the next move the artist formerly known as Mos Def will make musically.

While in his new stomping grounds in New Orleans, the enigmatic Brooklyn, New York born emcee now known as Yasiin Bey hit the studio with the production legend Mannie Fresh to create something brand new in the form of “OMFGOD”.

Although this isn’t 100% out of the blue, as Black Dante has always professed love for creator of the original Cash Money sound’s beats, it’s definitely a pleasant surprise to see them actually make magic. Take a peek at the creative process below.

Stay locked for the finished song and music video.
